Changes in manufacturing brought on the Industrial Revolution, which first began in Great Britain.

Markets rallied last week in response to a slightly lower-than-expected consumer price index, which reinvigorated hopes that the Fed might almost be done raising interest rates. The flaw in this thesis is that low inflation implies that meager increases in nominal income translate into sizeable gains in real income, which keeps household spending strong. In fact, income growth is solid. And strong gains in consumer spending are no longer desirable, given that the labor market is already fairly tight and starting to push up wage rates. The Fed may be willing or able to forgo a rate increase if inflation remains low. But that should prove to be a temporary event. Bernanke's speech will likely be (mis)interpreted as suggesting the Fed will pause soon, but I doubt that is his intention.

On Thursday, the Fed was surely going to hike rates at its next meeting. By Friday, the markets were convinced that no more rate hikes were coming in 2006. Aside from a psychiatrist, what does the market require? Perhaps only patience, I think. The Fed is just waiting for more data to better ascertain how well the economy is performing and whether inflation will remain contained. Similarly, there's no point for the market to rush to judgment.

The outcome of the Fed's next decision is too tough to call, as yet. The need for higher interest rates to slow down growth is fast becoming urgent, since inflation pressures are now rising visibly and strongly. However, job growth may be slowing, which could contain inflation pressures within a reasonable period of time. If the Fed were confident that a slower pace of job growth would be sustained, then the Fed could pause. But the slower pace of employment growth may be temporary. The Fed's next move is a very tough call right now based on the information at hand. So, the Fed will welcome the new data that will become available before its next meeting.

How many times have you heard that one before, "The end is near"? However, euphoria was quickly followed by realism, at least in some quarters. The March 2007 eurodollars futures contract rallied over the week ...by a grand total of 6.5 basis points. Instead of the end being at hand, it seems more likely that the Fed's impending halt to its increase in interest rates will be more akin to the pause that refreshes.

When something is going awry, people, including investors, become fearful and get carried away. There is no meaningful supply of oil in Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, or Syria, but that has not prevented oil markets from rallying. Investors think they need less risk, pushing stocks down, and U.S. bonds and the dollar up. But the hostilities now taking place are unlikely to expand to engulf Saudi Arabia and other sizeable oil producers, particularly since the Saudis have already publicly blamed Hezbollah as the instigator. Those who can separate political events overseas from economic and profit growth domestically should find very attractive investment opportunities now in equities.
